NP View on COVID-19: Navigating a path back to prosperity after the coronavirus pandemic

At some point, the COVID-19 crisis will abate. The curve will flatten, authorities will get a better grasp on the response and Canadians will see some of the draconian restrictions placed on their lives gradually eased.

Our health-care system has been shown to have been badly ill-prepared for an emergency of this magnitude. We can’t even get critically needed supplies to the people facing the greatest danger — health workers on the front line of the crisis — much less Canadians struggling to make sense of the flood of advice and regulations pouring forth each day. The horrors emerging at a number of care homes for the elderly can’t help but affect people’s thinking about dealing with aging loved ones.

Major industries face enormous challenges, as altered behaviours produce drastic new outlooks for the travel industry, airlines, restaurants, transit and manufacturing. Ontario Premier Doug Ford — a one-time admirer of U.S. President Donald Trump — observed that the president’s effort to block protective masks from being shipped to Canada demonstrated that “when the cards are down, you see who your friends are.

Yet for all the verbal outflow from daily press briefings, we’ve heard little from Ottawa or elsewhere on strategies to deal with any of this. Yes, the prime minister and premiers have been busy, but unless intense efforts to prepare for the future begin now, we will find ourselves as ill-prepared for the recovery as we were for the crisis.

Back to prosperity? We were going broke when COVID-19 hit.

What more do Canadians expect from Mr. Dressup. He’s never actually had to earn a living and can’t relate to the average Canadian. Libtard’s deserve who they elected while unfortunately the rest of us suffer. Now, restart the economy!

If hes still in government I dont hold out much hope for economic recovery

Trudeau and Team make it up as they go, while Canadians are guinea pigs for the 'new normal'. Want to be a guinea pig for a new vaccine? Wait 18 months? The man is insane, and people praise him! These bureaucrats need to pay!

Canada's sinking in quicksand, I doubt it will recover

Last week Trudeau indicated zero priority on the economy, focus is Covid & donating $’s to UN. He now indicates economy continue to decline until vaccine is available. Nope- treat the ill (get hydroxychloroquine option moving) & gradually get economy going. Can’t wait 18 months!

This fella would have trouble navigating a garden path.

The first step will be to toss this absolutely useless government with no clue.

Why expect prosperity? We were in a home made recession before Corona, now we are irretrievable debt ridden with a massively devalued dollar. Prosperity? Lowest common denominator socialism more likely.

. That's odd. Trudeau said Covid-19 was low risk; they had plans in place, learned from SARS. Health system is prepared. 🤔 How soon we forget. . Lost trust and faith in Canada's leadership! Doug Ford's doing a much better job in Ontario. .
